Pros

Paid birthdays (after 1 year), PTO, Sick Leave, and medical benefits. Also opportunities to always receive extra money (i.e. commissions, pay increases, and contests). Company morale is extremely high.

Cons

Workload can get heavy depending on your community. At times, pay doesn't compensate hard work. Working most weekends (depending on the staffing at your property)

We appreciate you taking the time to provide the feedback, and I’m glad that you’ve enjoyed your time with us as much as you have! While workload and weekend hours can vary from location to location, it’s definitely important that our communities are staffed appropriately and that our team members are well compensated. While benchmarking reports and regular pay adjustments play an important role in making that a reality, they’re never a substitute for a candid conversation with a team leader. With this in mind, if you feel a change might be needed in your case or in the case of your community, please don’t hesitate to connect with your Community Manager for an open and candid conversation. Feedback from individuals like you makes all the difference at both the onsite and corporate level. Thanks so much again for the review and, in advance, for any additional insights!

Pros

Despite the cons, Venterra is an amazing company where you will be supported, equipped and rewarded/acknowledged for the work you do. If you have a good idea, then Venterra will listen. If they see fit to implement your idea, you are even compensated for it. Overall I would refer Venterra in a heart beat because the Regional Managers are stellar and will do what they can to best support you, but they will equally challenge you when they see areas for improvement. The pros I would list are: Leadership Support Growth Support Genuine Care For Employees Healthy Work Environment Potential For Advancement Work-Life Balance Innovation

Cons

One thing that really bothers me is the "Million Dollar Club". It is a club you can find yourself in if you make Venterra 1 million dollars or more in annual revenue. The issue is you are handed scraps for achieving this goal. Make Venterra millions and you will get a $500 gift card. To me it comes off very greedy given how much it takes to get there and how much they profit off of your skillset. Some will say, "It's something", but those that see the value they bring will feel like it's crumbs brushed off of the table. I also feel like the commission structure could be miles better. However, I believe the goal is to keep as little people in the top tier of commission as possible. They make it very difficult to reach specific parameters that are more often than not, out of your control. That being said, Venterra is still a young company in the apartment industry being 20 years old and have a ton of room and time to grow. The hourly pay starts pretty low and you have to perform really well to be considered for any substantial raise.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts here. It’s great to hear that you’ve felt heard, supported, and challenged during your time on the team! While compensation is informed by regional benchmarking and our recent change to commissions was based on feedback about disparities due to community size/pace, your comments about the commission structure, our “Million Dollar Club” program, and pay generally is very much appreciated. As you mention, there’s always room to improve, so we’ll definitely take it to heart as we explore opportunities to improve in these areas. If you have any other thoughts or suggestions, please be sure to continue sharing and submitting any ideas you might have via the Innspire portal. Thank you again for providing the review!
